Hi Friends,
I needed to get a card made for a special person for their birthday and I was going for masculine. I think I succeeded. I also used the scraps from my WOTG "Snow haven" card making kit

This is the last Stamp of the month set of 2014 - If you have some extra Christmas money you may want to treat yourself.

I just wanted to remind you. You have until 12 -31-14 to order this stamp set for $5.00 with a qualifying order and any other C or D stamp set for $10.00 so if you have had you eye on some great stamps now is the time to order from my store click here .

I can not believe I finally got a chance to do a MOJO Monday early on Monday. So Here it is I just love these skinny cards. This one is 3.5 x 5.5 and all the layers are so much fun I used Verve
Wings of Love and small phrases sentiment stamps the sequins are from Verve Holiday collection, I picked the red out which work great for Valentines, which is just around the corner. You know how these Holidays sneak up on you.

I have the big push right now to get stuff ready for donations, the end of the year, but I still wanted to get some projects done. While the hubs is off to the gym I am going to try and get some STUFF ready.

I treated myself to 5 personal training sessions at the gym - Merry Christmas to me. I start tomorrow. Why wait until the New Year. I need to get that sugar out of my system now. I have belonged to a gym almost my whole life and can't imagine not going. However, I usually cut back the first few weeks of the new year, I know that sounds odd to some of you, but there are just too many people there for the first 6 weeks because they have all made New Years resolutions to get fit and that usually lasts about 6 weeks.

Everyone can use a little inspiration, so that is why I created this card.

The stampers select white cardstock is hand stamped with avocado and terra cotta using ruby reprise stamp set from PTI. The sentiment is in chocolate and classic craft and the stamp set is little inspirations( it is fairly new to me and I have never used this particular sentiment.. The card base is Classic kraft I love how this came out.

A couple of weeks ago Hope left a pickle on a friends Christmas tree. It is just something she does when no one is looking.

What an exciting day today. I told you Hope is staying for awhile. We went to church this morning , and after the service Hope wanted to say Hi to Pastor Mark because she met him last year. They have something in common and it is the she has the red outfit and the red hair and so does he.
Check it out.

She also got to meet three of my friends Gina, Paula and Norma (left to right)

After breakfast, we were driving home and happen to spot Jerry Rice on the 8th green

I was pretty pleased with these shots, It was with my old point and shoot with a quick stop and while driving.

I did not have the heart to jump out of the car and interrupt some one's golf game just for an autograph. He is that nice of a person that he would do it, but I think the shot was good enough. He comes here about 2x a year to golf.

We needed gas in the car and Hope wanted to go along because she had never seen a gas station.

I decided to have Hope stay around a little longer . She has a lot more to share from the past few weeks, but it has been so busy around here, we did not have time to post everything we did. We will try to get it all posted before the end of the year.

She liked the ribbon from one of the gifts that arrived and added it to her hat . She also got a cute necklace from a "Friend" and she is donning her Christmas skirt.

makes 15 cards.
I think this is a super deal you get a D size stamp set worth 17.95 along with enough cardstock embellishments and envelopes to make 15 cards and there is enough left over to make a few more cards or a great layout. the kit is 24.95 That is like getting the stamp set for the regular price and everything else for $7.00. As soon as I found out about Close to my heart I have bought every WOTG card making kit, because I just think it is a great deal and they are beautiful.

First of all, I loved seeing all the cards and projects that were submitted for the DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY "SANTA CLAUS/thank you challenge #146, you all did a great job. It was so nice to see so many great projects in one spot. I was honored to have them on my blog.

Hi Friends,
Welcome to the BBTB2 challenge. Our DT sister Mayra has chosen the challenge this week, she has challenged us to create a card, layout or project using "Anything Christmas" as the theme.
You must use a cricut cartridge with any die cut. That is it!! and have fun.

I am sure you are all very busy running around trying to get last minute gifts. My tablet bit the dust, so I guess I will be getting myself a Christmas present. Any suggestions????????? I would appreciate any thoughts recommendations, or what to stay away from.
Before that happened, Hope and I had been very busy, but the last couple of days she has been staying home while I have been out doing shopping. Sweet as she is, she holds me back from getting things done. Hopefully she is at home wrapping gifts or doing the card list.

A couple of weeks ago a quite as few of us ladies helped decorate for the Women's Christmas tea .

Hope found a little animal friend and she was quite content just to sit and be still for awhile

Then she decided to help decorate the trees. Can you see her there on the ladder with my friend Kathleen?

She found some pinecone friends also.

Looks like she thinks she is an ornament. I think she had a pretty good day.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner on the 21st

All you have to do is CLICK HERE and leave Hope a comment-- She is wondering what you want for Christmas? We had to make a trip to the Dr.s office today, it really infringed on our crafting time. She really liked the way they had their waiting room decorated. Behind the counter they had stockings for each of the staff. She wants to go back and put something in some of those stockings. Should I let her? You can find out more about our Doctor visit when you check back at 8:00 to see if you are the winner.

She loved this poinsettia plant and at first thought it was artificial until she touched it. You will see that later to because she jumped up in it. Then the nurse came, and she wanted to meet her, I tell you she is more of a chatter box than I am.
